Guy Friends

<p>Is it weird that I don't have any guy friends?</p>

<p>I guess I'm kind of a shy person... but I have a couple of really good girl friends, and we hang out a lot. I just never really talk to guys, or interact with them, not on purpose, but still...</p>

<p>I don't know. Sometimes I feel really odd about it, like I should have at least some guy friends, but I don't.</p>

<p>Strange, right?</p>

<p>Are you a… guy? Or a girl?</p>

<p>I’d guess a girl…if you want to have guy friends then make some. If you don’t then just don’t care about it. I don’t think it particularly matters as long as you are able to interact with guys…if you’re not then you maybe should practice.</p>

<p>It’s not that big of a deal. I talk to guys, but I don’t have any close guy friends. Don’t worry. Life isn’t a romance book where girls always have a “guy-next-door” or a “popular guy friend”. Most guys (emphasis on the “most”. guys don’t kill me for this) in high school are pretty immature anyways. And like sushi_lub said, it doesn’t really matter as long as you are able to interact normally with them. Don’t let it bother you.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t know any guys that refer to their friends as “guy friends.”</p>

<p>

Lmao…I LOL’d.</p>

<p>I’m gonna go on a limb and say the OP is a guy.</p>

<p>

Read the post again.</p>

<p>If the OP is a guy…I’d honestly be incredibly…um, let’s not go there.</p>

<p>Maybe it’s a very effeminate guy? His/her name is apocalypse…</p>

<p>Might want to check your sarcasm meter.</p>

<p>I think the OP is a female.</p>

<p>And I find this post weird.</p>

<p>I don’t have any friends who are girls.</p>

<p>[I’m a girl]</p>

<p>Sexist pig. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Just kidding… Wow… I guess the superego conditioning worked pretty effectively when you were young for you not to be associating with half of the world’s population.</p>

<p>Unless my guy friends are my girl friend’s boyfriends, I’m friends with them for less than pure reasons.</p>

<p>No, its not weird.</p>

<p>I refer to my guy friends as guy friends and I’m a guy. Y’all are cruel.</p>

<p>I don’t have loads of guy friends either. I had one really good one that I knew from kindergarden to 8th grade, but he moved away and we lost touch. </p>

<p>Overall, I’m comfortable talking to guys (as in, if I’m paired up with a guy as a lab partner in school or a guy sits right next to me in one of my classes, I can usually carry on a decent conversation). I’m semi-friends with this guy in my AP Chem class who is my usual lab partner. </p>

<p>At the same time, I don’t have any “close” guy friends (at least not the way you see on television and/or in books). Some girls are able to connect/feel more comfortable with guys and others prefer hanging out with female friends. I personally prefer having friends that are girls (same gender as me) to having guy friends only because I feel more at ease with them.</p>

<p>I’m going to guess that the OP is a guy, because you’re more likely to ask that question if you don’t have any friends of your own gender.</p>

<p>

Yeah yeah, but they also said “girl friends” too. THey have to distinguish between the sex of their friends somehow</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah, except that it would be more obviously strange to not have friends your own gender.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well I don’t. For me (and most guys I know) girlfriend = romantic partner.</p>

<p>Girlfriend=one word. Not what I was talking about. Regarding the OP, the genders need to be separated for it to make sense. Regardless, I think it’s a guy anyway. lol.</p>
